Reducing the cost of conventional drilling and equipment is one way of doing this. This paper reports a study recently conducted in Ethiopia and outlines some methods for achieving this goal. The study on Ethiopia carried out under the flagship project on drilling, combined with studies on other countries and across the continent, defines a method in ten steps to reduce the costs of drilling. It is not easy to make the necessary changes because they require the participation and the dynamic response of many stakeholders -- public, private and civil society - all of which must join the project.
